Am I seeing this properly, are you saying that Sarah Ferguson was young and naive when she married Andrew? She had already lived with an older man and she had mixed with the royal family since almost the day she was born. I am sorry but I just can't believe that any member of the staff would...

Thanks, all explained. I remember reading something about Prince Philip's sister dying with her family flying to a wedding, was it this sister?

Beautiful children, all four of them, but the names of the twins are horrible, especially as they are twins, I wish they had gone for CP Mary's mother's name Henrietta, I don't like it but it is better than Josephine. Of course all apologies to the Josephines on the forum, but it is my own...

Excuse me Iluv, but who was the serving officer? The infant daughter,? Do you mean as the daughter of a serving officer she had a military funeral?

Kate Middleton background I agree with MrsJ, why is everything negative about the family untrue, it could be equally very true indeed. An example is Pippa, dating a person with no particular wealth, then the phrase which can mean a lot "as far as I know", and it turns out that her boyfriend...

Please, not Duke of Clarence, this title brings bad memories of the past with it. Kensington Palace I believe is not actually a palace but a kind of royal compound, very convenient for shopping too.

Does the Strathmore tiara belong to the royal family now, or was it lent to the Queen mother for her wedding as her family's tiara? The Spencer tiara was lent to Diana, and very beautiful it looked on her too. If I am not mistaken it is now the property of her brother.

I am not a fan of the York family at all, as anyone reading my posts can see BUT why is all this emphasis on the two princesses working or studying or anything else.? They have been born princesses with the magical HRH before their names, which more or less lets them do anything with a body...

out of wedlock children A particularly sad case in my mind is that of James Croft, the first born son of Charles II. He was given the title of Duke of Monmouth but he found it very difficult not to be bitter although he was very much loved by his father. It was made even more difficult as the...

At the time of the M-M incident I was in Spain and saw the video of the "incident". European TV channels are not so shy when showing anything involving famous people and the video I saw was M-M definitely hitting out at Haakon but he put up his hand and stopped it reaching the royal face. It...

It seems Kate has some nice friends. Does "swingers´club mean what I take it to mean?" Kate Middleton's friend cautioned by police after 'joke' about shooting illegal immigrants | Mail Online

An article in this morning´s DM. Why this man is too dangerous to be king. In a landmark essay, Max Hastings tells why this increasingly eccentric royal could imperil the monarchy | Mail Online

I read once a very interesting book of a family who had existed and lived in the same area in a mansion in the north of England for a recorded almost 1000 years. The writer of the book said that the amazing thing about his family was that no one had really made any mark on history in that...

It should not be a pet peeve as it was explained when Prince Harry was born, that the original pronunciation of Henry was Harry and that Diana and Prince Charles had decided to call him Henry but with the original pronunciation of the name. King Henry VIII was called King Harry in his time...

Princess Beatrice does look tired but that would only be natural leaving a night club, if she has made a late night of it how can she look fresh? A photo taken of a blink, it doesn´t look like it to me. A nice lie in the next day and she will be fine. She looks good with her new slender...

I agree Marg, but I really don´t believe that Prince Andrew is a good representative for British Trade, especially as he has allegedly said his only qualifications are "genetical". There must be more competent people about. The idea is good, a son of the Sovereign, and HRH sounds impressive...

Perhaps today´s article in DM sheds a little light on this subject. How Kate's parents are making the most of their Party Pieces: Middletons sell customers' personal information for up to £20,000 a time | Mail Online

Harry´s wife would never have Princess before her first name, newspapers have this custom but any wife of Prince Harry and Prince William for that matter would be Princess Henry of Wales, and in the case of Kate, Princess William of Wales. Chelsy is one of those "fad" names, which I don´t...

Nothing can change the fact that the Philips are the grandchildren of the Sovereign and they have their place in order of precedence even if they do not have the HRH title, which is only natural as their father is not a royal. He could have been an earl but refused, but that would not have...

On the contrary to what I have always felt about Kate Middleton I like the idea of Chelsy marrying Prince Harry, I think he might have a bit of a problem though, she is a very independent young lady and is not the kind to sit round waiting for a phone call to run to his side whenever he feels...

Not particularly. A royal wedding has a degree of formality and protocol. Sarah is no longer a member of the BRF, she is divorced, but as this wedding doesn´t seem to be the usual British royal wedding she may well be invited, besides Prince Philip has been very quiet lately. I must say I...

Do I see a Rania and Letizia clone appearing very soon? She has been dressing very royal from the time she first met William so there t hasn´t really been that big a change, it has been very gradual. I like the blue dress and it suited her and the white/sand coat is beautiful.

Perhaps it is because of all the speculation and the pressure put on him by TRF? Next year Carole Middleton had better kill two deer at a shoot and then the rumours are really going to run riot. It seems that duty comes first with William, and that is the way it should be. His grandmother, The...

I agree with everything you say. Sarah was in the wrong so she would never have had the upper hand, also she would never have got a divorce settlement equal to Diana´s, just two reasons among many, one is that she was at fault and second she was NOT married to the Prince of Wales. Sarah was...

I do apologise, I had no idea from your post that you were not a native speaker, I did say that I would never criticise someone trying to speak a foreign language, and I must congratulate you, it seems to me you are doing very well indeed.
